ETH as the Shuffle ecosystem chain
Ethereum mainnet is the backbone of Shuffle's token stack. Beyond the native ETH deposit, the ERC-20 tokens you'd actually want to use at a crypto casino run here: SHFL (the house token), USDT, USDC, DAI, and SHIB. Each of those has its own minimum, its own fee structure, and its own gas cost. When you deposit any ERC-20 via Ethereum, you're paying the current L1 gas price for the transaction, not a flat Shuffle fee.
The platform also supports ETH on BEP20 and Base for players who prefer the cheaper execution layers. If you're moving a small ETH stack and mainnet gas is running at 30 gwei or above, Base is worth considering. But most players who live in ETH native will use mainnet and treat the gas cost as table stakes.
Gas fees: the main variable
Ethereum mainnet gas fees swing with network demand. At quiet periods they're negligible on a percentage basis. During congested windows, moving USDT-ERC20 can cost $15 to $40 in gas for a single transaction. That's not a Shuffle problem, it's an Ethereum problem, and it's the reason USDT-TRC20 exists.
For ETH itself, the withdrawal fee from Shuffle is a fixed 0.00040 ETH. At mid-2026 prices that's roughly $1.20 to $1.50 per withdrawal, which is low. The gas your wallet pays to interact with the deposit address is an additional cost on top, paid to the Ethereum miners, not to Shuffle. Budget for both.

The SHFL token lives on Ethereum mainnet: contract 0x8881562783028F5c1BCB985d2283D5E170D88888, 1 billion total supply cap, deflationary via Shuffle's buyback-and-burn programme. When you deposit SHFL to Shuffle, you're moving ERC-20 tokens, which means mainnet gas applies to the send.
Depositing SHFL is worth it for a specific reason: Airdrop 3 is activity-weighted, running March 2026 through March 2027, distributing 9% of total supply to active players. Play in SHFL, and your airdrop allocation grows faster. The SHFL deposit goes into your Shuffle balance at its USD equivalent, same as any other coin, and the bonus applies on the same terms. The airdrop accrual is the added layer.
ERC-20 tokens on Shuffle
If gas is the deciding factor, the stablecoins (USDT, USDC) are cheaper to move via TRC-20 or Solana than via ERC-20. USDT-TRC20 in particular is the standard for players who want stablecoin speed at near-zero cost. The only reason to use USDT-ERC20 is if your wallet doesn't support TRC-20 or you're already paying the gas for another ERC-20 in the same transaction.

| USDT | ERC-20 | 2.00 USDT | Variable: wallet gas |
| USDC | ERC-20 | 2.00 USDC | Variable: wallet gas |
| SHFL | ERC-20 | 45.00 SHFL | Variable: wallet gas |

ETH and the MAXBET welcome bonus
ETH deposits count toward the welcome match exactly as BTC or USDT do. Fund with at least $20 in ETH equivalent, enter code MAXBET at registration, and the 100% match activates up to $1,000. Wagering is 35x on deposit plus bonus, max $10 per spin or hand while clearing, 30-day expiry.
ETH confirms faster than BTC (typically one to three minutes on mainnet), so your bonus credits sooner than a BTC deposit would. Still slower than TRC-20 or SOL for impatient players.
